Hi, I am a total noob outside of a couple of very simple repeated operations. Now I have ended up trying to work on an image I didn't start, and I can't figure out whats going wrong: I have a single layer containing both figures and a background. I can move my own picture into the image, and it covers the background with the figures showing up in front of it. So far, so good. But now I want to remove a couple of the figures, and that has proven frustrating. If I try to make the figures transparent, all I get is transparent pixels in the shape of the figure. The underlying picture does not show up. If I check the background, it is all cut out in a rectangle no problem.

It really feels like I am trying to work on two different layers, but can only see one. 

Here, I have unlocked the alpha channel and done a rectangular cut to remove one of the figures: The outline of the figure remains, while a rectangle space is cut out from the background -which is on the same layer as the figure. The mostly dark section is what I have inserted and it is supposed to be showing in the transparent pixels. As you can see, the background is not showing up. I can raise the background up, but then it covers the rest of the figures.

Hi,

I have recently found that when I scale down an image, Gimp stalls, becomes unresponsive and then I have to close it down.

Example of image size is 7360 x 4912 (9.13 MB) scaling down to 1080 x 1080. I've been using Gimp your the past 3 + years and have never come across this issue until recently. It's not my machine, everything works perfect in Inkscape etc...

Version 2.10.30 (downloaded from gimp.org)

Machine: PC Specialist, Windows 11 Pro, 16GB ram, 1TB SSD, Intel Core i7 11th generation, intel iRIS Xe graphics card.

Any help would be much appreciated ?

I want to be able to tint and tone black & white images (as separate tasks – not with the same image at the same time).

Tinting and toning are not colorizing.

In chemical photo terms, tinting and toning have separate meanings. Tinting a B&W image a desired color is equivalent to looking at that image through a color filter, or printing a B&W image on a solid-color paper. Toning is when the densities of a B&W image are converted to a selected color, with the grey scale varied as concentrations of that color, from white (lightest areas) to full-color (darkest ares).

Colorizing is something else entirely.

How do I tint and tone B&W images?

I really like gimp. However, I'm a mac user. Gimp has become buggy. I'm going to stay with Gimp for as long as I can but I need to make a plan of what to do IF gimp becomes to buggy to be usable with mac. Does anyone have any suggestions for different software that works with mac? I'm also considering to install a windows emulator that runs on mac. I will then install gimp for windows and run it on mac.

I'd like feedback on both of these options
1. suggestions for similar software to gimp that runs on mac
2. Run gimp for windows on my mac by running it through a windows emulator.

Hello to all,

Several years in the making, but here it is: A [/url][url=https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1jm2kSaTWtuxFr4qLb_PT28zMovDvyS9b]fan extension of the board game Ticket to Ride. 

   

This was possible because Gimp exists and I am very grateful for that.

I am also grateful for the help received from Ofnuts, rich2005 and Kevin regarding the Gimp scripts to format the name of the cities. 

Many thanks,

Linett.

I have an image and I cut out the middle and want to fill the transparent middle part by dragging in the remaining image from the edges of the cut out part.

Any ideas?

Hey Folks,

I am hoping I can get some help with recreating an image into a "hatch" file that consists only of black and white lines or dots. Attached is an attempt of mine to create this using the Newsprint Filter. The problem with my attempt is the areas of greyscale. I need something that is simply and only full black and full white. The width and frequency of the lines will convey the image brightness. 

An example of what I'm attempting is shown in this YouTube video, where the author uses a CNC program to recreate an image of Steve Jobs with the black and white hatch.

About 4:50 in the video shows a closeup of the final product, showing how the image is portrayed with full black and white. 

Is this possible in GIMP? I appreciate the help.
